Environmental Impact Statement: Los Angeles County, California

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.


[[Page 40780]]


ACTION: Amended notice of intent.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this amended notice to advise the public 
that an environmental impact statement will not be prepared for a 
proposed highway project in Los Angeles County, California.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
C. Glenn Clinton, Chief, District Operations--South, Federal Highway 
Administration, 980--9th Street, Suite 400, Sacramento, CA 95814-2724; 
Telephone: [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: No federal funding is proposed to be used by 
the City of Santa Clarita to construct the extension of Magic Mountain 
Parkway (State Route 126) from west of San Fernando Road to Via 
Princessa (2.5 miles) and to construct the extension of Via Princessa 
from Magic Mountain Parkway to Rainbow Glen Drive (1.7 miles). Since 
there is no federal action for the proposed project, the preparation of 
an environmental impact statement (EIS) to satisfy the requirements of 
the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 will not be 
needed. Thus this amended notice is to rescind the earlier notice which 
was published in the Federal Register on February 24, 1998 (63 FR 
9293).
    Per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a Notice of 
Preparation on an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for this project 
was published on February 12, 1997 and a 45-day public comment period 
followed from February 12, 1997 to March 31, 1997, including a Public 
Scoping Meeting held on March 5, 1997. In addition to the comment 
period and scoping meeting, three public meetings were conducted by the 
City of Santa Clarita in November 1996. The public and review agencies 
have had the opportunity to comment on the scope and content of the 
project.

    Issued on: July 9, 1998.
C. Glenn Clinton,
Chief, District Operations--South, Sacramento, California.
